Daniel Craig Confirms He Will return As Bond

Daniel Craig has ended months of speculation by confirming that he will return as James Bond in the next installment of the long running movie franchise.

Craig made the announcement on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, confirming that he had known for months that he would be returning, but also suggesting that the next film could be his last insisting “I just want to go out on a high note and I can’t wait.” The confirmation ends months of heated, and at times divisive, debate about his replacement.

News that he would return surfaced in July of this year, contradicting previous comments he has made after the release of Spectre, where he said he would rather “slit my wrists” than reprise the role.

Craig made his first appearance as Bond, succeeding Pierce Brosnan, in Casino Royal in 2006, followed by Quantum of Solace in ’08 and Skyfall in 2012. Craig last appeared as the British super-spy in 2015’s Spectre, the second Bond film directed by Sam Mendes. Mendes has confirmed he will not return for the next film in the franchise with David Mackenzie, and Denis Villeneuve and Yann Demange among the favourites to take over in the director’s chair.

The next Bond film, which will be the 25th in the series, is scheduled for a November 2019 release.

I know most people I’ve asked loved Skyfall
But I was just a little bored watching it
Each to their own
I’ll defo watch the new one someday soon
So if his arc is concluded anyone you like to see take on the mantle actor wise?!
